<\/a>So as a nominated race, speed is not the essence to winning the coveted trophies for this race. Runners must accurately guess how long they think it will take them to complete the 5 mile course. This leaves the competition wide open to every single entrant and an exciting reveal during the presentation.<\/p>\nRunners started out from the Riverside Centre and made their way out to Blackwater along the cycle path. They then came back along Marvel Lane and up the cheeky hill in Watergate Road to bring them into Shide. Straight through to St James Street, before turning right at Sainsbury\u2019s Petrol station to make their way back to the Riverside Centre, where the time keepers were frantically scribbling down everyone’s times.<\/p>\n First over the line were….. And for the ladies…. But as already mentioned, the bling winners were not those out in front, but those that paced themselves accurately.<\/p>\n Male Female Well done to all the winners.<\/p>\n Last but by no means least the winners of the Winter Series were announced. This is a calendar of 12 nominated races (again, runners guessing their times most accurately) spanning 4 to 7 miles. Each week, each nomination will score points correlating with the runners estimated time. 1st Dave Wilcock – 226 points<\/a><\/p>\n
